The evidence of growth is ali aboutus in the daily life of the quadrangles.More remarkable than the sheer factof the University's tangible accretions havebeen the year to year demonstration of thesoundness of President Harper's principlesand the stable manner in which his idealsand ambitions have been brought to realiza-tion. He saw the University as having thehighest standards of teaching and scholar-ship, devoted to investigation in ali impor-tant fields of knowledge, willing to serve thecommunity, liberal, respectful of human values, ready to alter its methods by care-ful self-scrutiny in the light of new knowledge.Though it is reasonable to suppose thatthe growth of the University in the futurewill be directed largely in terms of the needsof the present, just as the current expansionis a movement toward realizing the goalsof President Harper, it is difficult for anyone person to sense ali the problems of thefaculty and student groups. Predictionmust remain a personal matter.Many of the University's needs areclearly indicated if we are to do full justiceto the human resources we now have. Afterconsulting with the various divisions of theUniversity President Hutchins has drawnup a schedule of the University's presentand impending needs which involves theaddition of $98,000,000 to our assets, asum which is nearly the equivalent ofour holdings as of this year. Of thisneeded amount $26,000,000 is listed as nec-essary for the first stage of reinforcementand expansion. Satisfaction of these needsdepends, of course, upon private bene-factions. But there is every reason for con-4094io THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEfidence that the support of the Universitywill be as generous in the future as it hasbeen in the past.During the past decade new buildingshave been the most striking outward marksof progress. In seven years, eighteen of thetwenty buildings proposed by President Bur-ton for "The University in 1940" have beenerected, and funds have been found forseveral not contemplated in 1924. At present six additional structures are underway — the South-of-the-Midway ResidenceHalls for 400 men; International House,which will provide for 500 of the city'sforeign students; the Chicago Lying-InHospital and Dispensary, part of the medicai group; the graduate building forthe School of Education; the Orientai In-stitute ; and the Athletic Field House.During the current year it is planned tostart work on the Art Building provided byMr. and Mrs. Max Epstein, at a site notyet definitely determined, and on a group ofResidence halls for 400 women, at 6othSt. and Woodlawn Ave.Several additions to the physical plant ofthe medicai group will be necessary in thenear future to make the medical-biologicalwork fully effective. A hospital unit forinfectious diseases will be built soon. A Nurse's Home and new buildings for theDepartment of Hygiene and Bacteriologyand the Department of Anatomy are nowpartially fìnanced. A unit for psychiatryand mental hygiene should be an early de-velopment. Stili further units for the stu-dent health service and for clinical special-ties such as eye, ear, nose and throat workmust be included in medicai planning forthis decade.At least two new buildings must be vis-ualized for the older main quadrangles. Forsome years there has been apparent the needfor an adequate centrai headquarters for thevarious administrative offices. Proposedsites for an Administration Building includethose at 58th Street on the Ellis and University Avenue sides of the quadrangle.More recently it has become evident thatHarper Library and the stacks in contiguousbuildings will soon overflow with books.The new Library building should be ofsufficient dimensions to house the University's volumes and new acquisitions at agreatly increased rate for many years tocome. A suggestion for "a science capitol,"to be built on the site of the Bookstore, andto contain the books of the physical andbiological science divisions, has also beenmade.The Men's Residence Halls as Viewed from the SouthTHE FUTURE 411In several other spheres of Universityactivity work is cramped and hampered bylack of building facilities. Among thosewith the most pressing needs are theDepartments of Psychology and HomeEconomics. Geography, Botany and Zoòl-ogy also require additional space.Almost perennial has been the need fora classroom building and auditorium forthe University High School. When thisis built it will occupy the space betweenBlaine and Belfield halls along KenwoodAvenue, completing the Education quad-rangle.If present plans can be carried out theCollege Division of the University willeventually center along the South front ofthe Midway. The Residence halls beingerected this year — and possibly more suchhalls to be erected in the future — will bedevoted primarily to students of the College. On the square block which is calledGreenwood Field there will probably riseone or more halls containing the Library ofthe College, lecture and conference rooms,and quarters for student activities.One other building project of the futuremust be mentioned. The University maybe expected to take an increasing interestin adult education, principally throughUniversity College downtown, and particu-larly at an advanced level, as typified bypost-graduate and seminar work for professional men and women. Such an expansion calls for an adequate downtown building.Buildings are only outward marks ofprogress — facilities for the men who usethem. More important than any building,so far as the University's future is con-cerned, is the need of providing an attrac-tive life here for the distinguished group nowcomprising the faculty, and, when the needand opportunity arise, for obtaining the bestteachers, scholars and investigators to befound.Though it hardly classifies as "expansion," this efiort will probably continue tobe the major business of the University ad-ministration. A start has been made in theprogram for increasing faculty salaries tolevels more nearly commensurate with achievement and ability. In the future — thenot too distant future, I hope — the University should be able to provide its faculty withadequate means of maintenance of such astandard of living as men and women ofculture are reasonably entitled to enjoy.Approximately half of the $98,000,000schedule of the University's needs preparedby President Hutchins derives from researchrequirements and development. More adequate salaries, buildings and equipment forresearch are of course indicated. It is tobe hoped that our research people will in thefuture be aided in their projects by as manyassistants, technicians or clerks as they canprofitably use. Too often now our mostcapable investigators must waste their en-ergies doing types of detail work whichmight very well be delegated to assistants.I look forward also to the time when weshall have more research fellowships toaward, and more money for the publicationof the results of research.One trend for the future will undoubt-edly be in the direction of cooperative research, of the sort exemplified by the SocialScience Research Committee and the University Clinics. Some of the fields sug-gested for such "institute" types of inves-tigatipn are child development, politics andgovernmental research, international rela-tions, the family, agricultural economics andphonetics.The Reorganization pian, which has beenthoroughly discussed in the Magazine, andthe Residence halls south of the Midway,are indications of the University's ambitionsfor its future students.The educational pian is an experimenttoward the solution of the University'steaching problem. Its effects will probablybe most apparent at the levels where theproblem has been most evident — the studente beginning years. The new Collegewill attempt to improve teaching methods,to define a general education, to stimulatestudent initiative in attaining it, and at onceto ad just the University to individuai needsand to familiarize the student with alithe principal fields of knowledge. Fore-casting the intellectual climate is a dubiouskind of prophecy. But I venture to pre-412 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEdict that, through the reorganization, education will become more exciting and en-joyable as a process and more enduringlyvaluable as an achievement.I have already spoken of the proposedcollegiate development south of the Midway. The Residence halls should providea type of communal life we have never haabefore. The University will take an increasing interest in the non-academic lifeof the students, with guidance and adviceplaying an increasing part in ali fields ofstudent life. Student activities, includingorganized and informai sports, I expect,will thrive.I do not look forward to any striking in-crease in the numbers of the student body.I do anticipate a graduai increase in thenumber of applicants for admission andin the number of scholarships available forstudents of unusual promise.FORTY years of building at the University! It seems but a trifle as com-pared with Harvard's venerabletradition of nearly three hundred years;it seems youthful even when compared withthe history of the University of Michigan,or other midwestern neìghbors. Yet inforty years Chicago has achieved an archi-tectural setting that may well be enviedby other American universities.During its single generation of growth,Chicago has established some landmarks inAmerican university architecture. It wasthe first American university, with the ex-ception of the University of Virginia whichwas planned by Thomas Jefferson, toadopt a unified pian by one architect forits architectural development, involving theadoption of a single style and a single building material, and planning the location offuture building carefully with reference tothe growth of a consistent and harmonious I have spoken of expansion by listing someof the University's needs. The needs aresufficiently great to encompass the expansion of a good many years to come. Thereare, however, several hoped-for projectswhich would be quite new. We are nowengaged in trying to build up a strong Department of Art. Logicai outgrowths ofthe department of Art would be a Department of Music and a Department of Architecture. And it is not impossible that aDepartment of Engineering might some dayrise, with Art, Music and Architecture,south of the Midway. Ali of these depart-ments, ideally, would function at the levelof scholarship of the Art Department. Thatis, they would not be professional schoolsdesigned primarily for the training of prac-titioners, but centers of scholarship and research, with a good deal of emphasis on thecultural aspects of the field.ensemble. Every importarit universitysince has chosen an architectural advisorand mapped out a building pian in anattempt to achieve a unified setting. Chicago was the first American university toadopt on a comprehensive scale the TudorGothic style, which has since become sodominant in academic architecture that ithas become known as "Collegiate Gothic."During its . forty years of growth it hasemployed some of the leading Americanarchitects, and can boast of at least two orthree nationally known masterpieces.The University began building on itspresent site in 189 1. It possessed a largeand compact block of land, unencumberedby earlier buildings, and unique as to ad-vantages of site. Other and older institu-tions were almost ali hampered by lack ofspace or money, or encumbered with amiscellany of old buildings, irregularlyplaced and in diverse styles.

Cobb's buildingsSet off by the more feminine elegance of Eckhart4H THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEseem slightly old-fashioned now, ratherbald in their lack of refinements ; but themasonery is sound, and they have a boldpicturesqueness of mass often lacking in thenewer buildings. Perhaps the best of themis Ryerson Laboratory, now set ori in aliits ruggedness by the more feminine ele-gance of Eckhart.From 1900 to the war carne a secondperiod of growth, inaugurated with the de-cennial celebration in which the corner-stones of the buildings around HutchinsonCourt were laid, in 1901. The firm ofShepley, Rutan, and Coolidge, architectsof Boston, did most of the fourteen majorbuildings completed during these years.The style was a more learned version ofthe Tudor Gothic, more scrupulous in de-tail, more faithful to English models. Manyof the designs are adapted from Oxfordbuildings: Bartlett Gymnasium from Lincoln College Gateway; Hutchinson Hallfrom Christ Church College Hall; theReynolds Club from the garden facade ofSt. John's College; and Mitchell Towerfrom the splendid tower of Magdalen College. Lewis Mumford, in an article ofChicago architecture three or four yearsago, referred to the style of these as "thedull, and merely grammatical, Gothic of theUniversity of Chicago buildings," addingan attack on the imitation of "a dead style."This is in a measure true, but at the sametime one could wish for more tolerance.It is the fashion now of architectural criti-cism, made intolerant of the old throughits intoxicating visions of the new, to de-cry the imitation of historic styles. It isto be questioned whether any architecturalstyle, especially one so closely related to ourown cultural background, can ever be com-pletely "dead" to subsequent generations.A recent diatribe on "Art vs. Yale University" criticized the superbly graceful Hark-ness Tower, in the Flamboyant Gothicstyle, as "girder-Gothic," a mere sham of"cheap, uninspired copywork." This iseither very narrow criticism, or very badtaste. The possibility for architecturalbeauty within the forms of a past style hasbeen repeatedly demonstrated, most aptlyon the campus, perhaps by such a master- piece as Ida Noyes Hall. Modem criticism has been too insistently demanding thatali our architecture should "express theMachine Age," without being quite sure inthe first place that we are in it, and if weare, what it is. Our modem skyscrapershave produced the theory of "functional-ism," which seeks to make a building anunadorned and undisguised statement of itsfunction and of its structure. This mayproduce good buildings but it may also re-sult in ugly packing-box tenements. Finearchitecture is too varied and elusive a thingto be judged by any such narrow formulai.Since the war the University has under-gone a period of intense building activity.From 1925 to 1930 alone some twenty-six millions have been available for building. Fourteen structures have been completed, including the immense MedicaiGroup. The University Chapel, nownationally known, was one of the lastworks of the greatest of recent American architects, Bertram Grosvenor Good-hue. It was completed in 1928, 4 yearsafter his death. On the whole the newbuildings show a simplification of theGothic style which accords with theirlarger masses, and which reflects the austerity of style of current commercial architecture. Eckhart Hall, however, is one ofthe richest of ali the University buildings,and one of the best. The concentration offine vertical lines in the window groups, thedelicate accents of the carved detail andbuttress pinnacles, are eflectively set off bythe strength of the corner masses. Thearchitect, Charles Klauder, is the designerof the new Cathedral of Learning of theUniversity of Pittsburgh. The Universityis now beginning to build up the land onthe south side of the Midway, and alreadythe new quadrangle of the men's dormi-tories suggests the imposing array that bal-anced masses facing both sides of the Midway will present to returning graduates afew years hence.Whatever the criticisms of the Gothicstyle of the University buildings, and whatever the merits and demerits of individuaibuildings — and it must be admitted thatthere are many single monuments of greaterA PHILOSOPHER LOOKS AT THE CHAPEL 4i5beauty at Yale and Princeton, and occasionala elsewhere, than any at Chicago — thefact remains that Chicago as a whole hasone of the most impressive university plantsin the world. This arises partly from itsEVEN there where the Chapel standswas but now empty space, emptyspace filled with Chicago dirt andgrime. The chapel did not come down be-fore wondering eyes out of heaven, norwas it summoned instantaneously from thesoil by any magical gesture. It rose slowlyand painfully, like the secular buildingsaround it, from foundations of mortar in-ter-threaded with steel. It grew stone bystone from the hands of workmen dressedin overalls and paid with money made fromoil. I saw the foundations laid, laid deeperthan had been intended, because of geo-logical insecurity. I talked with the nightwatchman the night after the sound bottoni had been reached; and I noted thatneither the evening nor the morning starsang for joy, but both went right on twink-ling as of old. We talked of his rate ofpay, of labor troubles in the building in-dustry; then of things in general — of theweather, of Life. He ate three solid mealsa day, drank coffee with ali of them, smokeda pipe, slept wrell by day, and lustily pickedhis teeth while we talked.Slowly though it rose, there the Chapelstands: the conception of a few, the workof many, the admiration of ali. Playingmild havoc with our emotions while it wasnew, it is quietly settling to its destiny ofa soothing and steadying role while itdeepens into our habits — as love slows downtó kindliness. With the passing gen-erations, it will always be new to thenew; old to the old. And this doublérole but typifies the real diversity of itsinfluence when one swells to full truth sheer size and its admirable site on the Midway, but more from the uniformity of styleand the ordered and consistent pian whichhas governed the University building sinceits beginning forty years ago.the amazing story of human variety. Nonarrowed conception of its mission can everconfine its meaning to prescribed form. Ittowers above Protestant dogma; it looksdown upon Christian sectarianism ; it evenmocks moralism by passing beyond good andevil through contact with a realm wherebeauty is truth and truth is mellowed intobeauty. Imperious to the eye, it is benignin its unquestioned sway — variegated, uni-versal, steady. Those born under a starmay be christened there; those betrothedthrough the newspaper may be weddedthere; those who pass from life on a risingcurve may be buried from there. But eventhose who are just born, just marry, justdie may from the Midway, without evenshifting gear, store in memory's urn a finereidolon than the road ahead will yieldhowsoever far or fast they travel. And ifthey return another day to sit quietly inits lofty silence, or tumultuously to levitatewith the rolling tones of its organ, or tohear holy men talk beautifully and uncon-fidently about they-know-not-what, theywill carry away with them ali the wealth ofthe Indes they brought swelled by an un-expected usufruct of wonder and joy.Moreover, the sdentine worker for whomequally the Chapel was built but for whomit is not yet conducted need not fail tofind his own reward. Having eyes to see,he may use his ears to hear only what hismind can approve. Or if he be of a morecurious mold, he may detect in contentlesstalk the pathos of energy diverted, of hopesfrustrated and set himself to cure throughpotent intelligence what unknowing im-A Philosopher Looks at the ChapelBv T.

Gillet andJohnston, the English firm that is makingthe bells, has supplied chimes and towerclocks and carillons for public buildingsand cathedrals ali over the world. TheUniversity chimes, they say, are the secondlargest set they have ever cast.The mere dimensions are astounding, 64bells, ranging in size from the greatbourdon beli, 17 tons in weight, to the smali-est chime of ten pounds. The 16 largestbells are too heavy to be played by hand,and the clavier has an electro-pneumaticattachment to use in striking them. Thesmaller ones, varying as widely in size asthey do, give the carilloneur great oppor-tunity for harmony and delicate tone work.A carillon is played from a clavier, whichlooks much like a piano, and is played inmuch the same way. Anyone who is usedThe Chapel Finds Its VoiceBy Ruth C. E. Earnshaw '31THE CHAPEL FINDS ITS VOICE 417to organ and piano work can easily learnto use the clavier. The obvious difEcultyof unobtrusive practice, however, seems tokeep people from experiment. It has notbeen decided yet who will have the priv-ilege of playing the first notes on the University carillon, but it will tax the artistryof the carilloneur to the utmost, as thegreat number of bells complicates the prob-lems of harmony even while increasing thepossibilities of beautiful music.When the player strikes a lever on theclavier the tongue of the beli strikes theinside of the mouth at its widest point.Even for the largest beli the tonguenever travels more than one inch. Thatis sufficient for bringing out the fullesttone.Installing the chime in the tower of thechapel presents some interesting problems inengineering. An outside elevator towerwill have to be constructed beside theChapel tower, with a bridge platform àcrossto the floor level on which the chime will behung. Considering that this platform musthold the 17 ton bourdon, one sees that it willbe no easy task.Ali the major structural changes in theinterior of the tower are now complete,and the only work remaining is the cuttingaway of some of the stone so that the soundmay come out freely. None of the demi-figures on the corners will have to be dis-turbed.Inside the tower, only one floor level hadto be shifted and a steel frame work set in.The tower will not have to be strengthenedat ali to support the added weight of thebells. The chimes will be hung in thehighest open chamber of the tower, andthe clavier will be on the 208 foot level.This will allow the widest possible swingfor the bells, an important consideration,because of the strong vibrations of the heavybourdon.The bourdon will strike the hours withits deep note, and the quarters will chimeon ten bells in a diatonic scale runningfrom F# to A#. Five of the bells are hung to swing, low C#, F#, G#, A#,c#.Perhaps the most interesting part of themaking of a beli is the tuning. The casting of the amalgam of pure copper and tininto the moulds, the sand blasting, drillingand smoothing, prepare the voiceless belifor this difficult process. For the last twocenturies this tuning of the harmonics ofthe beli was a lost art. Only recently hasit been rediscovered. A beli has not one,but five notes that must be in tune witheach other if the chime is to ring true, thestrike-note, the nominai (octave above thestrike-note), the hum (octave below) thetierce (third) and quint (fifth).This delicacy of separation of tone isachieved by a very careful peeling andscraping of the inner surface of the beli.with Constant testing and revision. It de-mands most accurate workmanship andsubtle musical sense.The Hemonys of Amsterdam, 1644- 1684,were the most successful exponents of thisharmonical tuning before the present day.Indeed, until the rediscovery of the processin England, no bells cast were correctlytuned for several centuries. Badly tunedbells, or bells that have gotten out of tunewith themselves can be retuned quite satis-factorily, but usually one beli repaired in-volves the retuning of the whole peal, andfrequently the recasting of one or more ofthe set.However, the University Carillon willring many hours over the Midway before itwill need to go to the beli hospital.At present the plans for dedication arenot complete, but the prospect of such aceremony appeals greatly to the imagination.What will be the first words of the newbells? Will they sing some Christmascarol of the old world, to celebrate theChristmas season? Will they take up thesoaring chant of the Te Deum that thef acade sings in stone ? Or will the f amiliarnotes of Alma Mater first break the silenceof the tower ? No one knows yet, but manywill be listening eagerly.®&%®m%®®&%®New Buildings at ChicagoBy Lyman R. FlookSuperintendent of Buildings and GroundsTHE construction of new buildingscontinues. During the two yearssince the last publication of a Building Issue by the Magazine the Universityhas expended the sum of $9,272,435 for thispurpose, of which $7,765,206 was for buildings devoted to educational purposes, andthe balance of $1,507,229 was spent in thecompletion of the new heating plant, theextension of steam tunnels, and the installa-tion of an alternating current distributionsystem. The past two years have seen noslackening in building in the quadrangles,and add more than their quota to the grandtotal of $21,500,000 invested in newbuildings since July 1, 1924.The following buildings were completedand put into service during the period nowunder review:George Herbert Jones Laboratory: Thenew chemistry laboratory, gift of GeorgeHerbert Jones, was occupied October 1,1929. Designed by Coolidge and Hodgdon,it was built by Bulley and Andrews at a costof $700,000. It is given over to the workof graduate and research students of thedepartment.Bernard Edward Sunny Gymnasiurh:Named after its donor, it is located on Jack-man Field. It was designed by Armstrong,Furst, and Tilton, and constructed byBulley and Andrews, at a cost of $485,000.It was occupied in October, 1929, and isused by students of the University laboratory schools.Social Science Research Building: Occupied in November, 1929. The erectionof this building was made possible throughfunds contributed by the Laura SpelmanRockefeller Memorial. It adjoins HarperMemorial Library on the east, was designed by Coolidge and Hodgdon, and builtby the Frank H. Stowell Company at acost of $635,000.Bobs Roberts Memorial Hospital: Thispediatrics hospital, the gift of Colonel andMrs. John Roberts as a memorial to their son Bobs, was occupied in May, 1930. Designed by Coolidge and Hodgdon, built byFrank H. Stowell Company, at a cost of$820,000, it has a capacity of 100 beds, be-sides completely equipped laboratories andinterne's quarters.Bernard Albert Eckhart Hall: Constructed with funds provided in large partby Mr. Bernard A. Eckhart, this buildingis located immediately east of Ryerson. Designed by Mr. Chas. Z. Klauder, it was constructed by Bulley and Andrews, at a costof $725,000. The first floor and basementare given over to the physics department,while the departments of mathematics andastronomy occupy the upper floors.Botany laboratory and Green-houses:Erected with funds provided by the GeneralEducation Board. Perkins, Chatten andHammond were the architects and theSchmidt Brothers Construction Companydid the erecting of the laboratory. TheConstruction Department designed thegreenhouse. The total cost was $320,000.Blackstone Avenue Power Plant: Thenew heating plant was practically completedin the fall of 1929, and was put in opera-tion in December, 1929. Neiler, Rich, andCompany were the engineers on this building, and Philip B. Mayer, as associate,made the design for the building.

The concept of thepurpose of the school is being replaced bya greater concept — that medicai researchand teaching must have its departments ofmedicine, surgery, and pathology contigu-ous to and co-operative with ali the basicnaturai science departments, such as anat-omy, zoology, physiology, physiologicalchemistry, bacteriology, etc.Because of this realization, in its medicaibuilding program the University has createda clinic center with its hospital, classrooms,laboratories, and offices for the departmentsof medicine, surgery, and pathology alihoused under one roof. Across a MedicaiCourt are the Physiology and Physiological chemistry buildings. On the two sides of the clinic center, there have now beencompleted the Chicago Lying-In Hospital,the Bobs Roberts Pediatrics hospital, and theMcElwee and Hicks Orthopedic hospitals.Finally, proximate to this entire system, onthe main quadrangles, are the basic scienceand preclinical departments.At the west edge of the centrai unit,along Drexel avenue, is the Bobs RobertsMemorial Hospital, a medicai center forchildren comparable to those of Vienna andBerlin, and an integrai part of the Midwaymedicai development. Seven hundredthousand dollars for a building, and $300,-000 for the research that would be carriedon in the structure, have been provided byColonel and Mrs. John Roberts; thestructure was ópened on May 1, 1930. Itis dedicated to the cure of children's diseasesunder the direction of experienced pedia-tricians. It embodies in detail every conceptof the modem service, teaching, and researchchildren's hospital, and forms the centerfrom which will radiate ali the majorinterests of the pediatrie department ofthe University. In addition to the facilitiesit provides for the actual care of children,there is extensive space for laboratoriesThe line of Clinics extends for three blocks420THE MEDICAL CENTER ON THE MIDWAY 421and classes to insure an increase in knowl-edge of diseases peculiar to children. Itis working in dose co-operation with theChicago Lying-In hospital across the Streetto the west and the McElwee and Hickshospitals to the east.The two hospitals to the east of theClinics' building, the Hicks' Memorialon the Midway front, and the McElweeMemorial extending down Ellis avenue,are devoted to "the care of the less fortunate in the struggle for existence — destitutecrippled children." Mrs. Gertrude DunnHicks subscribed $300,000 for the three-story unit hearing her name, and Mrs.Elizabeth S. McElwee, who has been forthifty years one of the leading sponsors ofwork among crippled children in Chicago,gave an equal amount for the erection ofthe Ellis avenue unit.Both units, which together are practi-cally the mate of the Roberts Hospital onthe west edge of the group, will serve asthe new habitation of the Chicago Homefor Destitute and Crippled Children. TheUniversity medicai authorities have assumedresponsibility for the admission and care ofpatients, as they have done in the Bobs Roberts and Lying-In buildings. The struc-tures were designed to include such facili ties as a playroom under glass, open air playspaces on the roof, and rooms for the latesttherapy equipment. Dr. Nathaniel Allison,of the Harvard Medicai school, is Professorand Chairman of the University departmentof Orthopedic surgery, and he is the director of the two hospitals.The final new addition to this group ofUniversity-affiliated hospitals is the Chicago Lying-In institution, the most recentlycompleted structure. It is dedicated to thepurpose of raising the standard of teachingand practice of obstetrics. The hospital hasbeen in existence in other quarters for 34years, but has now come under the super-vision of the medicai department of theUniversity, and is available for the trainingof the University's students.The building is located between Drexeland Maryland avenues, facing the Midway.It brings the University's Gothic tower lineto within 100 yards of Cottage Grove avenue. The structure rises in symmetricallevels of one, three, and six floors towardsa climactic eight floor tower. A cloisteralong the Midway encloses a court formedby its three principal wings. The buildingprovides 140 beds for obstetrical cases, in-cluding a separate isolation pavilion. Dr.Joseph B.

Rockefeller.The residence buildings are laid out inquadrangles, in accordance with the University's pian on the north side of the Midway. There is a large court in the centerof each quadrangle. The eight halls areunited architecturally, but each is self-complete in its arrangement. Two largearchways give entrance to the interior ofthe quadrangles from Sixtieth Street. Each423424 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEof the quadrangles is divided into four halls,or sections, a private entrance being provided for each section. Both quadrangleshave their own clubhouse, dining hall, andinner court.The structures occupy the entire SixtiethStreet frontage from Greenwood avenue onthe east to Ellis avenue on the west, and theyextend halfway back to Sixty-first Street.Students whose rooms are on the north willlook out on the mile-long line of GothicUniversity buildings across the Midway.The south half of the block is devoted tothe recreational life of the halls, wherethere are provided a playing field, tenniscourts, and other athletic facilities.Designed by Zantzinger, Borie and Medary, of Philadelphia, the buildings areTudor Gothic in style, and are of Bedfordstone. The entire block, it is planned, willbe improved by landscape experts.Two clubhouses occupy the southeast andsouthwest corners of the quadrangles, andthese will be the centers for the group life of the residence halls. A large clubroom ison the first floor of each of these while alibrary and conference rooms occupy thesecond floors. Informai furnishings andatmosphere are planned for these two buildings. The dining halls, two in number, arelarge, one floor structures, the ceilings beingthree stories in height, supported by hugetrusses; immense bay Windows are at thesides. About two hundred men can be ac-commodated in each of these commons, bothof which are served by one kitchen.In planning the living quarters, effort hasbeen made to offer the occupants as great avariety of choice as possible. There areaccommodations for 390 men. Two hundred and fifty-five of the rooms are arrangedas combined study-bedrooms for one maneach.

Link, 'io, Ph.D. 'ioProfessor of Plant PathologyTHE new physical development ofthe Department of Botany consists of27,000 square feet of glass houses,distributed in twelve houses, some of whichare subdivided into rooms ; of a centrai glasscorridor, which connects ali the houses; ofa brick construction service house, facedwith glazed brick, 47x55 feet, one storyhigh with fiat roof and sky lights; and alaboratory building, 50x100 feet, two storieswith full basement, of reinforced steel construction, steel sash, plaster partitions, redtile roof, and Indiana limestone exterior;together with most of the necessary equip-ment, including tables and special apparatus,such as temperature control, glassware, anda fund for operation and maintenance.The site extends north and south 384feet on Ingleside Avenue and east and west115 feet along Fifty-seventh Street. Thelaboratory and the service house are placedat the north end, so as to avoid shading,the former facing Ingleside Avenue, fromwhich it is set back somewhat, and the latterwith its west wall standing on the alleyline. The south half of the east wall ofthe service house, and the west wall ofthe southern end of the laboratory, havecontact with the glass corridor which extends to the middle of the large glass housefacing on Fifty-seventh Street. Thecorridor serves as a centrai avenue for theentire plant and enables one to reach anyone of the twelve houses from the servicehouse or the laboratory without passingthrough any other house, as well as to passfrom the laboratory to the service house.The glass houses are of Lord and Burn-ham construction, with concrete bases, steelframes, wood sash, and arched steel-trusssupported, with ventilators at the ridge.Ali houses have thermostatic temperaturecontrol, and, excepting the Bryophyte andCycad houses, have cement floors in thepassages, which together with the doorsare wide enough to permit passage of aloaded wheelbarrow. House No. 1 abuts the south wall ofthe service house and is equipped with limestone and sandstone banks, with cascadesand pools, and with benches for Bryophyteand fern culture. House No. 2, devoted toteaching of physiology, has two roomsequipped with tables, benches, and beds.Ali tables throughout the houses are ofcement, with iron pipe legs, equipped withsink, plumbing, and current; ali benchesare pecky cypress on pipe legs; and alibeds are deep soil plots with tile and steampiping for sterilization. House No. 3, devoted to teaching pathology, is divided intotwo large rooms and three smaller ones,equipped with tables, benches, and a bed.House No. 4, devoted to pathology research,is divided into three larger rooms and foursmaller ones. The larger ones are equippedfor Constant soil temperature apparatus,and the smaller with tables. House No. 5,devoted to physiology research, is dividedinto three rooms, one of which is of Vita-Glass. Each room is equipped with a Constant temperature and humidity chamber ofClaradge construction and with benchesand Constant soil temperature apparatus.House No. 6, provided with limestonebanks, is devoted to Cycads, which weremoved from the old house without loss ofa single plant. House No. 7 is divided intotwo rooms, one, devoted to water and bogplants, is equipped with concrete tanks anda centrai fountain and rock pile, while theother is devoted to Xerophytes. HousesNos. 8 and 9 are equipped with benches andare devoted to culture of teaching andresearch material. House No. io is dividedinto two rooms with benches and beds, onedevoted to Gymnosperms and the other totropical plants. House No. 11 is dividedinto two rooms equipped with benches andbeds and is devoted to experimental genet-ics. House No. 12, has two rooms, oneilluminated and the other dark, for workin photoperiodism.The service house contains a soil room426NEW BUILDINGS FOR BOTANY 427with soil bins serviced from without, anautoclave, and a huge horizontal sterilizerof the canner's type for sterilization ofsoil in large quantities by rolling in pansof soil on a wheeled rack. This room con-nects with a commodious work room, withpotting bench and sink. This room, inturn, connects on the north with the pot-storage room, which is equipped with steelracks and a concrete tank for washing andsterilizing pots. In the southwest corneris an animai room, equipped with the besttype of animai cage, air exhaust, and a worktable with bins for feed Storage. Betweenthis room and the soil room are the officeand a locker, shower, and toilet. Thebuilding is heated by forced hot-air draft.The Botany laboratory is unique in thatit is devoted to study of the plant in healthand disease- — these studies being carried onby the physiological and pathological di-visions of the department.The basement of the laboratory is devoted to three Constant temperature rooms,(one — 40°F.), a machine room, a grindingroom, and Storage. The first floor, which connects directlywith the glass corridor, and thus to theservice house and glass houses, is devotedto physiology and such rooms as physiology and pathology will use in common,while the second floor will be devoted topathology and such rooms as pathology andphysiology will use in common, and to acentrai office room for ali the staff using thelaboratory and glass houses.The project was financed by a gift fromthe General Education Board and by fundsvoted by the Board of Trustees of the University. Under the untiring leadership ofDr. Kraus, plans were drawn and executedin co-operation with the office of construction of the University, the vice-president'soffices, and the architect. firm of Perkins,Chatten and Hammond. As a result of hissense of the beautiful, the useful, and thepracticable, the Department of Botany willhave a physical plant, which though limited,should prove to be a tool for increased andeffective research and teaching, and a causeof genuine satisfaction and well-temperedpride.The Botany Laboratory and GreenhousesThe Orientai InstituteDESIGNED by the same firm ofarchitects responsible for its ma-jestic neighbor, the new OrientaiInstitute Building erected at the south-east corner of Fifty-eighth Street and University Avenue echoes the ElizabethanGothic style of the Chapel, to whichit is appropriately subordinated by thegraduated arrangement of its floors. Itssouth elevation, faintly suggesting a cloisterwith a low-pitched roof line, is only onestory in height. The east side however risestwo floors, while the west side, extending160 feet along University Avenue, and thenorth or entrance side, stretching 210 feetalong Fifty-eighth Street and forming thefaqade of the building, rises to three floors.The quadrangle thus formed surrounds acourt, to be treated as a formai orientaigarden, where will be displayed largersculptures from the Institute 's excavatiunsin the Near East.Except for an unusually attractive lec-ture hall on the west side, seating about250 people, the entire main floor is devotedto exhibition halls for the display of thecollections formerly housed in HaskellMuseum, and of the constantly growing accessions from the Institute's expeditions.Some of the recently discovered materialwhich will be on exhibition in these halls isa collection of sculptures taken from thepalace of Sargon, ancient king of Assyria.Also, the huge stone bull uncovered in itsplace at the gateway of this palace has beenmounted in the east section of the Institute'sfirst floor. It is a grotesque figure, weighingthirty tons, which was brought to the campus in eighty-five sections. Standing eight-een feet high, the figure has the beardedhead of a man, the wings of an eagle, andthe body of a beast.The same expedition that found Sargon'sbull secured other things for the shelves ofthe museum. Relief work and tablets,carved 2,700 years ago on Sargon's court-yard walls, a figure of the king himself,and other material revealing the history ofthese ancient countries has been broughtback from this region about the Tigrisriver. In like manner, the fruits of manysimilar expeditions over a period of tenyears are being moved into their newcases along the walls of the Institute'sfirst floor.Echoes the Gothic of the Chapel428. THE ORIENTAL INSTITUTE 429The second floor houses the Institute's ad-ministration, editorial and Faculty offices,museum accession and secretary's rooms,classrooms, a common-room, and a libraryreading room, (west wing) with a rafteredceiling two floors in height. On the thirdfloor is housed the Assyrian Dictionaryproject, and additional offices for Faculty,Fellows, and returning field men. Thebasement contains the museum's preparatorelaboratory and workshop, photographic laboratory, and generous Storage space forfield materials, and for antiquities of scien-tifìc rather than exhibition value.In this new headquarters building willTWO THOUSAND foreign studentsstudying in the thirty-five institutionsof higher learning in the Chicago re-gion will have a magnificent home in thenew International House now being builtat the east end of the University of Chi-cago's Midway front. The cornerstone ofthe building was laid recently and it ishoped to have the $2,200,000 structure completed early next year.The Chicago International House is thethird of its kind in the United States, aliowing their existence to the generosity, interest, and international-mindedness of Mr.John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Mr. Rockefellerestablished the first House in New York;followed it with another at Berkeley, California, opened last autumn, and then established the Chicago International House asa middle-western center. A fourth is to beerected in the near future in Paris, France.A casual encounter in 19 io of Mr.Harry Edmonds, the present Director ofthe New York International House, witha lonely student, led to the foundation ofthese centers of international friendship.The student said that no one had greetedhim during the three weeks that he hadbeen in New York. An investigation be continued the Institute's home researches,and here will be focussed the activities andresults of its far-flung field expeditions nowworking in Turkey (Anatolia), Iraq, Palestine, Egypt, and latterly in Cyprus — proj-ects which themselves are now engaged inthe construction of fieldhouses or headquarters.In the light of these projects, the im-portance of the new Orientai InstituteBuilding at Chicago becomes strikingly ap-parent. The influence of the University,reaching out through these remote out-posts created by the Institute, is impossibleto calculate.showed that the students who carne thou-sands of miles to study in America were"lost" in the great city of New York, withlittle opportunity to discover beneath itssurface any real American life.As a result, a series of Sunday Supperswas initiated for foreign students and thesehave continued without cessation since 19 io.Out of these suppers grew the idea for"world homes," centers where foreign andAmerican students might live together inmutuai understanding."We are laying the cornerstone of astructure of international understanding andfriendship," Dr. Charles W. Gilkey, Deanof the University Chapel, said at the cornerstone ceremony of the Chicago House."This building will be a home for thehope of an international order in the future."The International House at the University of Chicago occupies the site of the oldDel Prado Hotel, famous hostelry of theWorld's Fair times. The commanding site,at one end of the mile-long academic boulevard of University buildings, was chosenbecause of Mr. Rockefeller's desire that thebuilding be a conspicuous and beautifulsymbol of human brotherhood."That Brotherhood May Prevail"An Experiment in Understanding430 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEThe building is of Indiana limestone, ofGothic architecture harmonizing with theUniversity buildings, and is planned withset-backs and terraces so as to obtain amore attractive mass. It is terraced upfrom three sides and is set back sufficientlyto permit desirable landscaping. On thenorth is a field for tennis courts and otheroutdoor recreation.The building is planned with a clubhousein a low unit extending along the Midwayfront, with the residence halls in wingsextending to the north. These wings willvary in height from seven to nine stories andat the intersection of one of the wings withthe rear of the building will be a towertwelve stories in height. In each of thedormitory sections for men and in that forwomen will be a large social room.There is also an assembly hall with seatsfor 500 on the main floor and 2200 ad-ditional seats in the balcony. The mainfloor is level so that the hall can be used fordances and Sunday night suppers. Therewill be a complete stage and motion pictureequipment in the hall.The building frames a large centrai courtwhich will have slate walks and gardens.At one side there will be a terrace openinginto a coffee shop so that in pleasant weatherrefreshments may be served in the court. The various public rooms are on severaldifferent levels, presenting a very interesting architectural effect. The receptionroom and the lounge are on the same level,and at a level a few steps up is the maincorridor, which leads to the coffee shop,dining-room, and the bazaar, for the sale ofproducts of the students' home lands. Di-rectly opposite, but on a higher level, willbe the various administrative offices.On the second floor is a large room calledthe Home Room, which can be used forgatherings of groups, and adjacent are aseries of National Rooms for use of smallergatherings. There is also a series of kitch-enettes in which the various nationalitiescan prepare their national foods. Otherfacilities include reading and writing rooms,a barber shop, and tailor shop.There are at the University of Chicagoat any one time some 500 foreign students,representing 50 nationalities. The residence facilities, although open to ali foreignstudents of the region, will be used chieflyby those studying at the University ofChicago, and by a limited number of American students. The club features will beavailable to ali foreign students. The residence halls will be open to the foreignstudents at a very low rental.*I ¦É^M jp^HgjkKPI "¦^^^s f f f f- f- f Ht 'Architect's Drawing of International HouseThe Graduate Building, of the School ofEducationDescribed By Armstrong, Furst & Tilton, Architects of the BuildingTHE Graduate Building of theSchool of Education which is nownearing completion, is located on theEast side of Kimbark Avenue betweenBlaine and Belfield Halls, and forms aconnecting link between the two. It is fourstories in height, and about one hundred andsixty-eight feet in length, with a depth ofabout fifty-three feet and a wing to theEast, about fifty-three feet square which willlater be extended Eastward to form theNorth side of theMain Quadrangleof the School ofEducation.The purpose ofthis building is tohouse the activitiesof the Graduatestudents of theSchool of Education,and while it is pri-marily a Laboratoryor Office Building,it also contains many special features includ-ing club rooms for men and women, an as-sembly room seating about three hundred,also a faculty exchange. These rooms andthe offices for Dr. Judd are located on thefirst floor.The second floor is devoted to the librarywhich includes an especially attractive read-ing room about fifty by one hundred feet,Special Collection and Document Rooms,Stack room with mezzanine, and an officeand work room for the librarian. The thirdand fourth floors contain about seventy-fiverooms which are devoted to offices, laboratories, examination rooms, projection rooms,etc, and additional laboratories and workrooms are provided in the basement.In designing the exterior of this buildingthe desire has been to make it not only har-monize with the French style used in presentbuildings of this group, but also to give it some of the character of the newer buildingson the campus. This has been accomplishedby using an adaptation of the fifteenth cen-tury French Gothic architecture that showsa tendency toward the other Gothic architecture that is being so successfully used onthe campus. Considerable emphasis has beenplaced on verticallity ; and the grouping andsize of the windows give an unusual amountof light to the various rooms without affect-ing the charm of the exterior.The exterior material consists ofvariegated IndianaLimestone contain-ing some variance incolor and texturewhile windows con-sist of steel case-ments and leadedglass. The roof, ofcourse, is coveredwith the usuai redtile which has doneso much toward making the Universitybuildings harmonious in design.The interior treatment of the club roomsand the library reading room have ali beengiven special study and ali parts of thebuilding have been worked out so thatwalls, floors, light fixtures, etc, will com-plement each other. Soft floor coveringswhich will reduce noise have been used in alirooms and spaces except in first floor corridore where it seemed necessary to use claytile which would withstand the hardestusage. The other floor coverings referredto consist of cork, linoleum and mastic tile.The planning and designing of a buildingof this character requires much study and in-vestigation and it is hoped that the University community will realize and appreciatethe great care that the building committeeof the board and ali others connected withthis work have taken to make this a success-ful building.43'A Complete Bookstore on CampusDO YOU remember "way backwhen" the Bookstore was housedin the corner of the Press Buildingwhere the information office and FacultyExchange are now located? What a wildscramble for text-books and supplies tookplace at the opening of each quarter ! Fewemerged from the mèlée without sore el-bows and dispositions more or less on edge.In a somewhat reminiscent mood theother day, when we dropped in to see Mr.Tracht, the manager, it carne over us thatwe now have a real Bookstore. A lapse ofa dozen or more years since that first strug-gle to dispense text-books has seen a growththat has been little short of amazing. Sinceits removal to Ellis Hall, and its graduaiexpansion of floor space there, the Bookstorehas become an asset to the University, theAlumni, and the communities of Hyde Parkand Woodlawn.The department that has shown the mostinteresting development, perhaps, from thebook-lover's standpoint, has been the generalbook section. Those of you who haven'tbeen back to the campus for a half-decadeor so may not know that it has become oneof the largest general bookstores outside ofthe loop. Poetry, drama, art, biography,dollar books, travel, religious books, fiction,children's books, — everything from A toIzzard, from Atlases to "Boners" — can beseen most attractively displayed on the tables,counters and wall shelves. This section ofthe store occupies largely the haunts of theold "Maroon" office, where aspirants for theeditorial board used to play leap-frog overthe furniture for their daily dozen. We'llwager it took some mighty beams to bolsterup that floor again.The text-book counters and stacks, abovewhich is a mezzanine floor for the offices,stretch down toward the rear of the mainroom. Mr. Ibsen stili presides over thequarterly clamor for books. You may remember him over there in the Press Building. From that point the center ovals, sur-rounded by lighted cases displaying pens,candies, gifts, University view-books andpost cards and social stationery, reach nearlyto the front door. It is here that you mayinspect the samples of the new U. of C.Spode plates if you happen in some time.Over at the north wall you can secureyour theme paper, note-books, those hated"yaller" exam books, and ali the other mis-cellaneous stufi which ali students have tohave for the conduct of the business at hand.This includes the typewriters back in thecorner. Had mine repaired there the otherday and the chap in charge did a good joband a quick one. It didn't cost a fortuneeither.You remember the rental library over inClassics that Clara Little started? Thatwas taken over by the Bookstore a year orso ago and by using the old south corridorand a two-floored arrangement, some 40,000volumes are now tucked away in a compara-tively small space but instantly available tocali. It is giving splendid service to thestudents.Do you know, it is most interesting towatch the windows over there at the store.The displays are changed at least once aweek, and to a lot of us they serve as a regu-lar bulletin of current events — the latestbooks and magazines, new things in the artworld, the new colors in kodaks and typewriters, and displays in connection withcampus happenings, such as Blackfriars, theCap and Gown, Intra-Mural cups andother contests.For Alumni in or out of town the phoneor mail service will bring wanted books andother things. There is a large volume ofbusiness in that one department alone.Although the Bookstore is not a cooperative in the usuai sense, yet it seems tobe giving real cooperation in ali Universityenterprises and we wish it "bigger and bet-ter" business for the future.432W$t Untoersrttp of Cfjicago |Waga?meEditor and Business Manager, Charlton T.

Rockwell Company,$2.00THE 193 1 output of American booksabout Russia is of bumper propor-tions. There are pro-Soviet booksand anti-Soviet books, and then there arethose that boast a neutral and objectiveviewpoint. Among these many products ofthe publishing houses, Professor Noé's at-tractive volume comes as a distinct contribu-tion. He holds no brief for or against theSoviet Republics. He entered Russia without apparent prejudice or bias. He wasneither a proponent nor an opponent of thefive-year-plan, and if one may judge fromhis book, he left Russia stili unprejudicedafter months of keen observation backed bysympathetic understanding.The author, a Chicago alumnus, and amember of the University faculty, had ex-ceptional opportunity to observe the Russiansituation in many of its phases. As theofficiai geologist of a government commis-sion appointed to investigate the developedand undeveloped coal fields of the country,he was offered every facility for observingnot only the possibilities for coal productionbut much that was interesting and significantin the daily life of the people under Sovietcontrol.These panoramic observations of aneminent scientist, told with the verve andhumor of a naturai reconteur, have now been recorded in this volume from theRockwell press. Professor Noe writes ofthe Russia of 1927, a period of "high hopesand enthusiastic planning when f aith in thespeedy realization of the ideas set forth bythe Soviet leaders was at its height. A spiritof undampened optimism filled the air. Itwas, in short, the Golden Age of SovietRussia."His sprightly narrative is based on notes,"jotted down under impressions of the moment."

MillettAssistant Professor of EnglishUNDER the circumstances, it wasnaturai for Robert Browning tothink that his wife's Sonnets fromthe Portuguese were "the finest sonnetswritten in any language since Shakes-peare's." There has hardly been in ancientor modem literature a more flattering trib-ute to masculine egotism. It is not soeasy to understand why Edna St. VincentMillay's sonnet-sequence, Fatai Interview,should have led critics to invoke the shadesof Petrarch, Shakespeare, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti. It would have been muchmore to the point to compare her latestutterance with the sonnets of ChristinaRossetti or Elizabeth Barrett Browning.For, though she has redeemed herself fromthe familiar reproach of flippancy andcleverness, she is not yet a serious rivai ofeither Petrarch or Shakespeare. But, if shehas not tumbled any master unceremo-niously from his poetic throne, Fatai Intervie™ has its own significance in the development of our best known poetess and in relation to the problem of modem love.Though Miss Millay might resent thecomparison, something may be learned froma reading of her recent book in the lightof the Sonnets from the Portuguese. Para-doxically enough, while Mrs. Browning'sattitudes are more conventional than MissMillay's, her technique is on the wholemore modem. Despite the invocation ofTheocritus and Electra, there are fewerdraughts on the cheap romantic capital ofDanae, Aphrodite, Iseult, and other figuresin world-romance. Moreover, Mrs.Browning achieves a steady lucidity andfluency to which Miss Millay does nottrouble to work her way through. Sheavoids more scrupulously than the currentpoetess those wilful inversions that occasion-ally make Miss Millay's sonnets grammat-ical puzzles, not always, as in SonnetXXVIII, easily capable of solution. It isnot likely that Mrs. Browning would al- low herself such an awkward sequence asthe lines,When sighed the straitened bud intothe flower,Sat the dry seed of most unwelcomethis.Besides, Mrs. Browning is freer fromechoes of her great prototypes. In Fata!Interview, there are reminiscences ofShakespeare, not only in phrases such as"sweet employment" and "lively chron-icles of the past," and final couplets, suchas,When Time and ali his tricks havedone their worst,Stili will I hold you dear, and himaccurst,but the whole of Sonnet LI.It is the more to be regretted that MissMillay has invoked frequently the conventional figures of world-romance and thenoble imagery and dignity of Shakespeare,because, when she will, she is beautifullysuccessful in lifting American flora andfauna into the idealizing atmosphere ofpoetry. There have been notable instancesin her earlier lyrics; there are fine tracesof this veritable Americanism in her in-tensely pathetic use of the folk-phrase,"What's out to-night is lost," and in thepicture,There in the autumn when the mengo forth,With slapping skirts the island womenstandIn gardens stripped and scattered,peering north,With dahlia tubers dripping from thehand.On the whole, though splendid peaks riseout of this most ambitious of her poems,Miss Millay has not taken with appropriateseriousness the most serious of ali lyricalforms.434IN MY OPINION 435But for the multitude of readers thathave made a best seller of Fatai Interview,the matter of the poems is unquestionablyof more import than the manner, and thiswidespread popularity probably indicatestheir expression of the conventional ratherthan the actual spirit of modem love. MissMillay's presentation of love is inevitablymore modem than Mrs. Browning's,but it is not nearly so modem asone might have expected from her re-bellious lyrics. Mrs. Browning's sequenceis surprisingly free from those Victorianlimitations that irritated the Georgians andare beginning to beguile us. To be sure,the Sonnets are a trine demure and reticent;they have a chastity of feeling and expression that made them palatable to tea-drink-ing curates and skittish spinsters; there israther too much self-abasement before thelordly male to allow us to feel quite com-fortable. Yet, on the whole, they probablyrepresent Victorian attitudes toward loverather more accurately than Miss Millayportrays the modem.For, singularly enough, Fatai Interviewis as traditional in its attitudes as it is inits technique. Miss Millay, of course, isfar freer than any Victorian lady could bein expressing her delight in the sensuousaspects of her experience; indeed, sheachieves some of her most honest and con-temporary effects in the depiction of herabandonment to passion, in Sonnets XXII,XXVII, and XXVIII. She is closest toMrs. Browning in her almost grandiosecelebration of her god-like lover. She has,however, a tragic sense of love's imper-manence to which Victorian sentimentalityblinded, not only Mrs. Browning but mostof her male contemporaries. But in themain, her attitudes find their sources inthe sonneteers of the Renaissance. Wefind the same transcendant idealization ofthe loved one, the assertion of the perma-nent ennobling of lover and beloved, anopen-eyed reluctance to accept the inevitablepain and anguish of love, and an almostimmediate joyous acceptance of its bondage.So Miss Millay, becoming traditional andclassical, is not the spokeswoman of modemlove. Essentially lyrical and emotional in her reaction to life and love, she has notassimilated and integrated the effects ofmodernism on love. She is not aware that,here as in every other phase of human experience, science is the dominant condition-ing influence. For science is at once allyand enemy of modem love. It is its allyin its attempt to free love of its physicalconsequences, and thus, indirectly andfundamentally, to encourage a view of love,like art, as valuable and creative in itself,and not as an idyllic preliminary to domes-ticity and baby-carriages and grocers'bills. But science is likewise love's enemy,as objectivity must ever be the enemy ofsubjectivity, outer fact, of inner feeling.As love is the most intensely subjective, themost intimately personal of human values,it is the last to be undermined, the singlevalue perhaps never quite to capitulate tothe inroads of objectivity.And yet, the modernist in love is drivento a process of integration more complexeven than that which the troubadours or theneo-Platonists of the Renaissance faced.He is aware, as no one of an earlier generation could be, unless he were cursedwith the appalling intuition of a Donne, oflove's psychic mechanisms, of hate as the reverse of the shield hearing love's name, ofthe flowering of egotisms under its influence,of its ridiculous vagaries, its monstrositiesof violence and jealousy. His romantichunger for perfection and permanence(aspirations that are the very essence oflove) is thwarted by the contemplation ofa universe of which impermanence and im-personality are the dominant characters.The decay of faith in the survival of per-sonality tends to silence his proud asser-tions of eternai fidelity, immortai longings.Thus modem love becomes the very focusof the tragic sense of life, and it may bethat on this battlefield, the ultimate con-flict of the modem spirit will be fought.And poetry more modem than Miss Millay's will express the essential twinship oflove and hate, the complex alliances andhostilities of conscious egotists, the joyfultyranny of possessiveness, the courageousasseveration of perfection and permanencein the face of imperfection and relativity.NEWS OF THEQUADRANGLESBy John P. Howe, '27THIS is the last issue of theMagazine in which the New Pianmay be discussed in the future tense;possibly the last in which the exclamatorymood is stili in point. By next Novemberyou won't be able to see the forest for thetrees. And as for the young saplings them-selves, they will probably be quite imperviousto the new pedagogical ecology.Educators assembled for the University'sannual Institute for Administrative Officersof Higher Institutions last month hearda very thorough exposition of the pian byPresident Hutchins, by the divisionai deansand Dean Works, and by the four men incharge of the four first-year survey courses.Fresh details on the organization of thesefirst-year courses, the syllabi of which havenow been completed, indicate that the in-structional program of the new Collegewill be handled with real intelligence.Though none of the entering studentswill be required to attend these courses, at-tendance will be a great help to them intheir eventual meeting with the generalexaminations — to put it mildly. Each of thecourses will be administered throughout theyear by a group of from two to four lec-turers, special lecturers being invited toaddress the groups as need or opportunityarises. Two large sections of each coursewill be held currently, each section havingan estimated attendance of 250. Thesegeneral lectures will be given three or fourhours a week, the groups being broken upinto smaller, informai units for quiz-sectionsand discussions one or two hours a week.The organizing principle of the socialsciences course will be a study of the impactof the Industriai Revolution on social, economie and industriai institutions, said Dr.Harry Gideonse, economist who will directthe course. In the main, students will go tooriginai sources for their outside reading."When we come to study the conflict be tween individualism and internationalismwe shall refer them to Norman Thomas''America's Way Out' and to HerbertHoover's 'American Individualism,' " Dr.Gideonse said. "We are including in ourreading lists such works as Boas' 'The Mindof Primitive Man,' Sumner's 'Folkways/Tawney's 'Acquisitive Society,' GrahamWallas' 'Human Nature in Politics' andothers of the same type."Such reliance on originals rather thantexts is a declaration of our faith in theresponse of our students, faith that they willbe interested in the same mature presenta-tion of these problems that we of the facultywould go to."Among the objectives of the social sciencescourse are these : To give students absorbedin 20th century America an understandingof the European origins of current socialinstitutions; to stress the growth of international interdependence ; to make the students conscious of the influences which ledthem to their present convictions and prej-udices (the Soviet Primer will be usedas an example of the propagandizing bywhich existing institutions indoctrinatethe young) ; to bring out the importance ofcustom and routine even in a period offlux; and to give the students skill in at-taining access to pertinent information. "Itis more important to teach the student howto think than what to think," says Dr.Gideonse, and he and his colleagues evi-dently intend to make that old saw cut.Students in the humanities general coursewill also go to originai sources, Dr. Schevilltold the group, in an eloquent statementof this more-than-scientific survey. "Theobject of the course will be to acquaint thestudents with such selected works of thoughtand imagination as have in the commonopinion of mankind won immortality. Inthe study of the personal values springingfrom religion, philosophy, literature and436NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES 437the arts we shall study masterpieces not onlyin the light of the social conditions whichgave them expression but more especially interms of their relevance to midwesternAmerican life in 193 1."Nine books will constitute the chief reading sources for the biology general course,Professor Merle Coulter reported. Be-cause it is the only recent work which treatsbiology with sufficient comprehensivenessand attractiveness, "The Science of Life,"by Wells, Huxley and Wells, will constitute the principal text. The other eightbooks are; Newman, Outlines of GeneralZoology and Evolution, Genetics and Eu-genics; Sinnott, Botany; Lull and others,The Evolution of Man; Hill, Living Ma-chinery ; Haggard, Science of Health andDisease; DeKruif, Microbe Hunters; andEast, Heredity and Human Affairs."In planning the general biology coursewe have attempted to guide ourselves bykeeping in sight three dominating objec-tives," Dr. Coulter said in his talk. "Thefirst is to cultivate in the minds of the students a familiarity with, a respect for, andsome facility in the application of the sdentine method. A second objective is to en-dow the student with such practical biologi-cal information as a modem citizen andprospective parent needs in order to adapthimself effectively to his environment. Ourthird main objective is to awaken, if pos-sible, an interest in the grand machinery ofthe organic world and in the larger con-cepts which have proven so useful in thedevelopment of biology."Those organizing the general course inthe physical sciences found little that wasready to their hands. Neither originaisource materials nor intensive laboratorywork were thought f easible, Professor Schle-singer said, and there was no obvious prin-ciple of organization. The course will deallargely with the principles, theories andhypotheses of science, and will be intendedprimarily for students who do not intendto specialize in those sciences. Rather thanusing any one organizing principle, suchas proceeding from the atoms to the stars,or vice versa, the instructors will begin withone subject and pursue its ramifications as they unfold between physics, chemistry,astronomy and geology.The general examinations by which College students will demonstrate their capacityfor higher work are divided into six parts,which may be taken in one examinationperiod or over several periods. Three ofthe four upper divisions — the Humanities,the Social Sciences and the Physical Sciences—have also now adopted the general examination as a basis for the award of the bache-lor's degree.In general the upper divisions have notas yet instituted any other drastic changes.The trend of their efforts will take twodirections : ( 1 ) To make the atmosphere ofserious effort which characterizes the presentgraduate schools prevail in the Universityfrom the end of the sophomore year on ;(2) to foster cooperative research. "Wehave the chance to bring the GraduateSchool down to the junior year," said President Hutchins, "creating from that timeon a scholarly and professional atmospherewhich cannot be without its effect on theattitudes of students. We have the chanceto develop educated men and women whoare experts in their fields and experts intheir fields who are educated men andwomen.""Those who are juniors and seniors underthe old pian are now rudimentary graduatestudents," Dean Laing said. "After theCollege, from the day that a student entersa division, the methods of instruction andthe methods of work should change, andthe whole program should be pointed toward the higher degrees. The bachelor'sdegree should be regarded merely as a way-station on the road at which anyone couldget off if he cared to do so."» W «How closely the New Pian at Chicago isaligned with the advanced thinking in otherinstitutions throughout the country was in-dicated in the reports of impending changesmade by representatives of Harvard, Yale,Stanford and Wisconsin. None of them,however, is quite ready to go as far as438 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEChicago. The new Wisconsin pian inparticular is a point-for-point, if limited,version of the Chicago pian. Here are someof its details, as outlined by Professor War-ren Weaver of Madison.Comprehensive examinations during thesenior year will be instituted for ali can-didates for the bachelor's degree, but willapply only on the student's major, and willbe superimposed on the older credit re-quirements rather than used as the principalmeasure of attainment. Placement and at-tainment "tests which may be taken at anytime the student wishes will enable him tomeet the specific requirements of the curriculum, and though these will not freehim from the necessity of going to class theywill allow him a wider range of electivecourses. Brilliant students at Wisconsinmay early in their educational careers befreed of ali regulation except the supervisionof an adviser, and may pursue their studiesentirely on their own initiative, subjecteventually to a comprehensive examinationadministered by some agency other thanthose associated with their instruction.The Wisconsin pian, now approved, alsomakes a distinction between liberal education and special education. The first twoyears of work will be devoted primarily tothe former, the second two years to thelatter. At the end of the first two yearsthe successful students will be awarded di-plomas as "Junior Graduates in LiberalStudies." Admission to the upper levels willbe reserved for the more able students, probably to 85% of the junior graduates, accord-ing to' Professor Weaver's estimate. Wisconsin will also introduce survey courses atthe junior level, and at the senior level ai-ready has adopted a divisionai pian of or-ganization."Under the adopted changes at Wisconsin," Dr. Weaver said, "there will be anincreased and, we hope, a more effectiveand stimulating use of the varied types ofexaminations ; second, there will be a shift inemphasis from formai credits to provenattainment; third, the four year course isdivided into distinct two-year periods, thecourse work of the first two years beingsomewhat broadened, that of the second two years somewhat sharpened ; fourth, therewill be a greatly increased freedom of procedure for those who demonstrate theircapacity to profit therefrom."In the happy but unusual event thatthere appears a student whose sole desire isan education, shorn of ali such mechanismand proof as credits and degrees, then sucha student will be assigned to a special adviser and allowed to remain as long as hegives the adviser evidence of capacity andapplication. Such students may, in general,make use of the strictly academic advan-tages the university has to offer, but willnot be permitted to engagé in any extra-curricular activities such as athletics, norto enjoy any of the country club featuressuch as fraternity life."President Robert Leigh of the new Ben-nington College which will open thisautumn in Vermont presented the Benning-ton pian, which resembles the Chicago ideaeven more closely than does that of Wisconsin.Harvard's experience with comprehensiveexaminations has shown benefits for bothstudents and faculty, though it is confinedto the student's field of concentration, saidDr. A. Hanford Chester, Dean of theHarvard College. The reading periods, inwhich ali formai work is suspended for twoand one-half weeks following the Christmasrecess and for three weeks in May, priorto the final examinations, has also provenitself a valuable innovation, he declared.Dean Hanford also described the "HousePian" which is being inaugurated at Harvard and at Yale, and which will have acounterpart in the pian for the new Residence Halls at Chicago. At Harvard therehave been established seven houses, each ofwhich provides for about 250 to 380 men,divided equally between the three upperclasses and chosen in such a way that eachhouse represents a cross section of the entirecollege so far as schools, interests, activitiesand fields of concentration are concerned.Each house has a library, including the booksfor tutorial and general reading, and isheaded by a resident tutor.Professor Edward S. Robinson of Yalereported changes at New Haven which in-NEWS OF THE QUADRANGLES 439elude the elimination of the half-year course,establishment of reading periods and exten-sion of the honors course method to students of average grades. Professor EdgarRobinson of Stanford reported that bothstudents and faculty there are agreed thatthe new system of independent study hasprovided better training, a broader outlookand more integration of knowledge. DavidH. Stevens, lately assistant to PresidentMason, and now Vice-President and Director Education of the General EducationBoard, aptly summarized the whole trend.? w wPresident Hutchins has insisted that theprimary purpose of general education is toteach students to think — "to think straightif possible, but to think always for them-selves." And Professor Judd, returnedfrom a conference on examinations in Eng-land, reportejd to the assemblage that theEnglish conference was agreed that futureexaminations should place more emphasis onthe ability to draw inferences and to reasonfrom faets than on mere memory. The newgeneral examinations at the University willplace just such emphasis. It is probable thatthe examinees will be allowed to take theirlecture notes and as many reference booksas they choose to the sessions. The ques-tions will be so framed as to require originaithinking, and originai thinking can't becribbed.The examination given in June to theseventeen freshmen who comprise thecourse on the classics of western literaturegiven by President Hutchins and Dr. Mor-timer Adler during the past year is perhapsindicative of the nature of the future general examinations. Professor E. String-fellow Barr of the University of Virginiaconducted the orai examinations and markedthe written papers. Here are the questionsof the written test: Write on one of the two following questions ;( i ) "Discuss the Renaissance in the lightof the books of this course." (2) "Startingwith Homer, take each book of the courseand make a list of ali the other books whichit has influenced or to which it is related insome way. Indicate by a word or a phrasethe nature of the influence or the relation."Answer any two of the following ninequestions :"Discuss Homer, Herodotus, Thucydides,the Old Testament, Plutarch and the NewTestament, as histories, as biographies, andas literature.""Comment on the works of the Greektragedians and Shakespeare's tragedies inthe light of Aristotle's Ethics/J"Compare and contrast Aristophanes,Rabelais, Erasmus, Cervantes and Shakespeare as satirists and as comedians.""Write an introduction to a book entitled'Plato and the Platonists.' ""Characterize as Romans: Cicero, Aure-lius, Lucretius, Virgil, Plotinus and Dante.""State the conception of the good life andthe good state according to (a) Plato andAristotle; (b) Cicero and Aurelius; and(e) Dante and Machiavelli.""Discuss the following authors : Erasmus,Montaigne, Rabelais and Francis Bacon,in the light of the four R's: Romanticism,revolution, reformation and renaissance.""Compare the following in their expres-sion of the scientific spirit : Plato, Aristotle,Herodotus, Thucydides, Lucretius, RogerBacon, Ockham, Leonardo Da Vinci, andFrancis Bacon.""Write the Table of Contents and thePreface for a book entitled 'Orthodoxy andHeresy from Augustine to Aquinas.' "The students thought the examinationfair. The examiners thought that the students performed remarkably well.gwksphssqm®By William V. Morgenstern, '20 J.D/22THE impending football season atChicago will be of national interestbecause this is the fortieth year thatDirector Stagg sends a Maroon eleven onthe field. Forty years in any enterprise isan unusual span, but in an occupation ashazardous to reputation as coaching, it isremarkable. The "Old Man" and Chicagoathletics have been synonomous as long asthe University has existed. Stagg himselfstarts this fortieth year a national figure,a symbol of rugged honesty and sportsman-ship. It would be glossing over the factsto say that the reverses of the last five yearshave not hurt his coaching reputation withthe unthinking who pay no attention tothe limitations of the squads with whichhe has worked. But his personal prestigeis undimmed; he is today, as he has beenfor years, the outstanding personality inamateur athletics, the vigorous crusader fordecency and idealism in a sphere in whichintegrity is often little valued. Yale, hisalma mater, is breaking with ali precedentto send a team to Chicago to honor his yearsof "significant service to the best interestsof college athletics."It would be pleasant if the "Old Man"faced this anniversary with a first class squadthat could restore some of the glory of thedays between 1892 and 1925, but thathappy condition of aff airs does not exist. Thematerial this season will be of much thesame caliber as that of recent years, in-sufficient for a first class team and requiringpatching and artifice to reach reasonablecompetence. Mr. Stagg regards his teamas promising better than that of 1930,largely because of the improvement in thebackfield.Of the sixteen men who won major let-ters last year, seven will not return. Capt.Van Nice and Knudson, backs; Brislen,MacNeille, Reiwitch, and Cowley, of the line, have graduated, and Abbott, end, doesnot intend to play this fall. The remain-ing "C" men are Paul Stagg, quarter; JoeTempie, Ken Mackenzie, and Louis Kanne,backs; Capt. Sam Horwitz and StanleyHamberg, guards; Keith Parsons, center,Walter Trude, tackle, and Bernard Wien,'end. Of the "Old English" letter winners,Donald Birney, Charles Buzzell, andRobert Wallace, backs ; Bert Cassels, Walter Maneikis, tackles; Robert Walsh andPompeo Toigo, end, return. At the presenttime five of these experienced men are in-eligible, but none is hopelessly so.The center trio on the team is definitelydetermined, with Parsons at center, andHamberg and Horwitz at guards. Parsonswas the only sophomore to win his majorletter last season, and he will be a bettercenter this year. Horwitz was a brilliantplayer, somewhat inclined to take chances,but he is fast, smart, and rugged, despitehis 168 pounds. Hamberg is a steady anddogged fighter who takes care of his respon-sibilities. Raymond Zenner, a stubby littlecenter, is the only man in reserve for Parsons, but Horwitz has had some experienceat the position and can be used there in anemergency.There is no clear distinction at presentbetween the rest of the guards and thegroup of tackles. Bert Cassels, son of the'99 end, and a rangy, raw-boned 190pounder, is pretty certain to be a regulartackle. He played a fine game at the doseof the season against Michigan. Trude hasalways had unusual possibilities but hasnever realized to the full extent of hisabilities. When he does reach his real levelhe is first rate, but generally he is just atackle. John Spearing, a 190 pounder, whohad no experience in the game, got someseasoning last autumn and this springshowed remarkable improvement. He is440ATHLETICS 441very likely to win a regular job. Maneikis,another big fellow, with a season behindhim, will be useful at either guard or tackle.Berg, a sophomore, attracted attention inspring practice and has good possibilities.Cari Gabel, handicapped by lack of experience last year, when he was used at end,has developed somewhat physically and isnow rugged enough for a tackle. Walsh, asenior, who has been alternating as a sub attackle and end, is also big enough to playtackle. Cummings, a tackle on the fresh-man team, was regarded hopefully, but hedid not appear more than five or six timesfor spring practice.Bernie Wien is a first class end, fast,aggressive, and good on forward passes.Pompeo Toigo, with lots of fire and abilityto give and take punishment, appears to bethe best bet for the other position. WarrenBellstrom, a sophomore last year, is a fairpossibility and may prove a happy surprise.Rapp, a sophomore, who did not play on thefreshman team, but appeared for springpractice, is another who may come through.Thomson, of whom much was expected lastyear; Ratcliff, another sophomore occasion-ally used, and Haydon, who was learningthe game last fall, are stili other possibilities.Some of these men should develop, but withthe certain exception of Wien and the prob-ability that Toigo will be strong in certainways, end may be a continuing problem.The story brightens somewhat when itdeals with the backs, because the sophomoresare going to add skill and power. PaulStagg, by virtue of two years of experience,undoubtedly will direct the team, but thereare other men who can cali the plays, in-cluding the junior "Pat" Page, Don Birney,and Louis Kanne. Mr. Stagg's backfieldformation makes no distinction betweenquarterbacks, halfbacks, and fullbacks. Hehas "front" backs and "rear" backs, and thefour men are interchangeable. Apparentlythe strongest combination of backs he canput on the field will include three sophomores, Page, Pete Zimmer, and VinsonSahlen. Page has ali the relentless drive ofhis father, plenty of weight, and an instinctfor meeting situations. He blocks andtackles with everything he has and is a good driving ball carrier. His kicking thisspring under Nelson Norgren's instructionwas remarkable. He has a fast rhythm inhis punting and a good half of his kicks gosixty yards on the fly. Zimmer is the ballcarrying and forward passing star of thetrio, with power and speed that needs onlya little experience to be brilliantly effective.Sahlen is an elusive, quick shifting, pivotingtype of runner who is going to give thestands plenty of thrills with his brokenfield sprints. Page and Sahlen have a heart-ening competitive spirit and zest for thegame itself; they have, unlike many of themanufactured backs of recent years, thatintensity about their play that arouses ateam. They will gamble for touchdownsand the crowds will like that attitude.In pre-season enthusiasm for the sophomores Louis Kanne ought not be disre-garded. He is due for a fine season if hedodges injuries, for he is a splendid defen-sive player, a cool and effective punter, andon certain types of plays, a dangerous ballcarrier. Mackenzie is the defensiye work-horse of the team, a sturdy player to havebacking up the line when the oppositionstarts pounding. Tempie was practicallyuseless last season because of a series ofinjuries but he will be in the game this yearif he can escape further damage. Until hewears down, Tempie is a strong driver.Charles Buzzell did some flashy running ingames last year and will be a good man tosend in against a tiring team in the finalquarter. Birney, used to a considerable ex-tent last season, will be an improved player,and with better support should be moreeffective. Wallace, a really fast man,couldn't get his speed under control lastyear but added experience may add to hiscleverness in using interference and pick-ing holes. Allan Summers, who had noprep experience, has good reaction andspeed, and the coaches think he may findhimself this year.Picking the lineup in the middle of Juryis a reckless piece of guessing, but here is anunofficial selection: Parsons, center; Hamberg and Horwitz, guards; Cassels andSpearing, tackles; Wien and Toigo, ends;Stagg, quarter; Page, Zimmer, and Sahlen,442 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEbacks. There is another good backfìeld,including Birney, Kanne, Mackenzie, andBuzzell, in reserve. The line reservesapparently are rather slim ; too slim, in fact,for a heavy schedule. The backfìeld willhave good ball carriers and punters ; it maynot be first rate in forward passing. Zimmer is regarded as the best of the passers,and Paul Stagg is reliable up to moderatedistances.The schedule is a peculiar one, for twoof the first three games are as hard as theycome. After the opening doubleheader onSept. 26 with Hillsdale and Cornell colleges,the team has two weeks to prepare for thegame at Michigan on October io. Michigan promises to be one of the best teams inthe Big Ten this season ; it has a big edgeover Chicago in power. There is hardlytime to get the Chicago team molded into a smooth working unit, for the Michigangame because there are so many new mento be fitted in. The next Saturday Yale isat Chicago. Fortunately, Michigan does notuse a battering style of play, and the Ma-roon team should go into the Yale game ingood condition. On Oct. 14, Indiana is atChicago, and the following Saturday Pur-due comes to Stagg Field. Nov. 7 bringsArkansas, regarded as a "breather" for thefinal drive of the season, the game at Illinoison Nov. 14 and the concluding game onNov. 21, which brings Wisconsin back toStagg Field.Mr. JStagg's two chief assistants will beNelson Norgren, who will work with thebacks, and H. O. Page, who is to coach theline. Several of the group of younger menwho worked with the team last year willalso assist in the coaching.*iwtì ! f r ] ? ? §¦i •.• . ¦j .•*•-Architect's Drawing of the Field HouseAcknowledgementThe editor expresses his gratitude to those who have contributed knoixingly or unknoiuingly to thisissuc of the Magazine.

There were no evidences ofdepression — either financial or spiritual —during the varied activities of the Alumni,beginning with the reunion dinner of theAssociation of the School of Social ServiceAdministration on June 8, and ending withthe Law and Medicai dinners on June 16.On Thursday, June1 1 , the annual Var-sity-Alumni baseballgame drew an unprec-edented attendanceand Greenwood Fieldwas the scene of a his-toric contest that waswon by the Varsity inthe last inning, onlyafter the pitching armof Pat Page, celebrat-ing his twenty-first reunion, lost a bit of itsstrength. On Thursday evening, nearlytwo hundred alumniathletes attended theannual "C" dinner,where Mr. Stagg pre-sided in his customarymanner, and as aninnovation introduced to the old "C" menthe outstanding athletes of the year.Friday evening was given over to classdinners and reunions. The most resound-ing and resplendent were the parties given,one for men and one for women, by theClass of 191 1. The Class of 19 12 held itsproverbiai "Midnight Spread" at thehome of Orno Roberts in Evanston, and theClass of '86 held its forty-fìfth reunion dinner in the private dining room of Ida Noyes,where more than half of the living membersof the class appeared, bringing their wives, and spent a delightful evening in reminis-cence and in educating the alumni secre-tary in the wàys.of the old University.Saturday, June 13, was Reunion Day onthe Quadrangles, and despite a shower inthe late morning, it was a gloriously success-ful day, fìlled to overflowing with activitiesof divers sorts.Bright and early in the morning, morethan 75 Alumni, two-thirds of them fromoutside Chicago, metfor breakfast and aninformai conference inthe dining room ofthe Quadrangle Club.Alumni representa-tives from fifty citieslearned from President Hutchins andHarold Swift of thenew plans for the Col-leges and then in amost informai waydiscussed the plans ofreorganization andthe ways in which thealumni may best servethe University inJudge Alien and Mrs. Lane making the new piana success.

Càiro, Egypt.The Alumni Council,Gentlemen : —In response to your request, assuring methat any news is welcome, I am glad to letyou know a word about my doings here.I am teaching physics and mathematics inthe College here, and also serving as registrar. During my furlough year I was ableto get my M.S. under Dean Gale. I havebeen in this job since the opening of theCollege eleven years ago, and while theCollege is stili young, struggling, and small(350 students) yet it is a fascinating work,and Cairo is a fine place to live.Chicago graduates are ali too scarce here.Others of our staff have done work there,but I am the only one with a Chicago degree,and my Spode plates (if and when they ar-rive) will be the only ones in town. C. C.Adams (Ph.D. '28) is here in Cairo and wef requently see him, and have work together.Of course, the really important Chicagoansare those at Luxor ; even they are 400 milesup the River, and we see ali too little ofthem, except occasionally when they passthrough Cairo at the beginning or dose ofthe season. Of course, we must not forgetour good friends at Assiut, W. W. Hick-man, Ph.D. '09 (I don't know his year) andPresident C. P. Russell, Ph.D. '23 inAssiut College.I know there are many alumni and members of the staff at Chicago who pass throughhere each winter. I wish you could getword to them to jot down a note to stop inand say "hello" when they are here. If anyof them get tired of the grub on ship and inhotels, and want a piece of pie or a wafHe orsome such American unobtainable, here's astanding invitation to them. The University is dose to the Consulate and theMuseum of Antiquities; the flag fliesthroughout the winter. Our residence ison the campus one hundred yards from theflag.I have enjoyed the "Magazine" verymuch this year. The article which I ap-preciated most this year was the tribute toDickson and his work with the foreignstudents. I hope to see the new International House when I next come home onfurlough.THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINE 459Phone Brunswick1066-7-8R. F.

Neiler, Rich & Co., Engineers, specified the Thermix form ofdraft now being adopted by the most progressive Power Plants in the United States andEurope.A feature which will be of interest to architects is that Thermix Stacks can be madeinvisible from the exterior as in the Marshall Field Garden Apartments, Chicago.If you have an Industriai plant, investigate these mone3^-saving methods which havebeen adopted by the University.Our interesting catalog sent on request.Prat>Daniel Corporation183 Madison Ave* New York, N.

Ashland Ave.47^ THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEPresident Charles P. Schwartz presided.President Robert M. Hutchins was present at the dinner, but left to speak at thedinner of the Rush Medicai Association.Mr. Alfred Z. Reed, staff member incharge of legai education of the CarnegieFoundation, was first scheduled to speakon the above subject, which is the title ofa brochure published by him. Unfortu-nately, Mr. Reed was injured in an automobile accident and was unable to attend.Professor Frederick C. Adler, of thePhilosophy Department, who also is con-nected with the Law School, reviewedMr. Reed's booklet. Mr. Reed thinks thatthe "missing element,, consists in the lackof more practical training in the law school,but Mr. Adler's analysis brought him tothe opinion that the law school teachingshould be theoretical only, leaving thestudent to get the practical aspects when hetackles practical problems.Professor Arthur H. Kent of the LawSchool was inclined to agree with Professor Adler.Mr. Roy D. Keehn, J.D. '04, speakingfor the alumni, took issue squarely withthe professors, and contended that thegraduating senior should be more or lessa lawyer by the time he faces the coldworld. Mr. Keehn took so deep an interest in this phase that he secured opinionsfrom leading members of the bar both inChicago and in the country at large, andcaused them to be printed in a bookletwhich was distributed among the guests.This booklet will be noticed separately inanother column.Mr. Sidney S. Gorham, of the firm ofMiller, Gorham & Wales, former presidentof the Chicago Bar Association, representedthe general bar. He thought the lawschool must necessarily remain theoretical,for lack of means to impart much of thepractical.William C. Burns, president of theSenior Class, expressing the views of under-graduates, said the class felt handicappedin knowing so little of the practical application of their study.Dean Bigelow was not present, as hehad not yet returned from his African hunt. Acting Dean Hinton also was unable tobe present, being absent from the city.Professor Freund, present Acting Dean,made the report of the dean's office as tothe year's progress at the school. Recentadditions to the faculty mean that theyounger men are now in the majority,"which is, perhaps, as it should be," saidMr. Freund.The five-year classes were well represented, and two of them had out-of-townspokesmen. Henry Lampi, of Wichita,Kansas, spoke for 1906, while CountyJudge Harold T. Garvey, of Carthage,Illinois, spoke for 1926.About thirty members of the graduatingclass were guests of the Association, andwere received into membership on themotion of Judge Walter P. Steffen.The nominating committee broke aliprecedents by re-electing the existing of-ficers. Heretofore no president has servedmore than one year, but President CharlesP. Schwartz, J.D. '09, received the com-pliment of the first encore. The otherofficers are:Vice-President — Dwight P. Green, J.D.'i2Secretary-Treasurer — Charles F. Mc-Elroy, J.D.

The plantwhich is engaging my attention just nowis the Strobilanthes, a plant with curiousand somewhat irregular blooming habits.It refuses to grow or bloom below 6,500feet and as our neighborhood is 6,511 feetand above we are favored. It blooms notoftener than once in seven years and oc-casionally it remains out of bloom twelveyears. It blooms profusely when it does soand bears a flower sometimes violet or whiteand once in a while yellow. The plant isa small shrub, or herb. There are about 200varieties. The one which blooms near tous is probably the Strobilanthes foliosus.I am told it bloomed the last time in theneighborhood in 1928. Between bloomingyears it dies down completely. I have neverseen the Strobilanthes. The sdentine de-scription has been omitted. I have 'TheFlora of the Nilgiri and Prilney Hill Tops,'by Mr. Fyson.

Does the work of modem crafts-men compare favorably with that done inthe days of Duncan Phyf e and other greatcraf tsmen of the past ? And what partshould furniture of traditional design playin modem interiors?Homer Eaton Keyes, editor of the maga,-zine, AntiqueSj comments on these subjectsas follows:"My opinion has been asked, first as tothe justification in this modem era, formanufacturing faithful replicas of the furniture of previous periods;- second as to thetruth of the oft repeated assertion that theso-called spirit of craftsmanship no longersurvives in American industry. Let mesay that the furniture manufacturer . . .appears to have virtually no choice but toproduce designs in closest possible approxi-mation of suitable models available from Emil O.

Today improved technical proc-esses permit the building of furniturestructurally superior to that of earlier periods."The spirit of craftsmanship is one withthe soul of man. It is an imperishable es-sence. During no era in history have aliartists and artisans been animated by thisspirit in equal measure. The spirit of craftsmanship has been imposed on, enslaved,starved ; it has been f orced into hiding, butit has never been killed. Those of us todaywho complain of our inability to engagéits generous and kindly ministrations mustblame not the spirit but our own ignoranceof its sensitive and elusive nature."It is interesting to note that the scientificapproach to the evaluation of craftsmanship,construction, and materials has been ini-tiated by the University of Chicago to agreater degree than in almost any other ofour educational institutions. This has beendone in connection with their purchase ofsupplies.Obviously a maker accustomed to massproduction at a minimum price is not quali-fied to step into the realm of careful craftsmanship, professional attack on the subjectof appropriate design, and adequate performance where lasting qualities are the primef actor. In like manner the careful craf ts-man will not suddenly change his methodswith any degree of facility to meet thedictates of low prices and mass production.This scientific approach, further, demandsthe taking apart of pieces and the examination of the inner structure and the subjectingof fabrics and leathers to sunlight andwearing tests.In arriving at a true perspective in judg-ing values in furniture a certain amount ofinformation about traditional styles is es-sential. Only thus can we select from theold the beautiful things that are stili com-patible with the demands of modem utility.From such studies as those offered in theOrientai Institute, for instance, comes abroadening of horizons and a deepening ofinsight that makes possible a keener ap-praisal not only of such simple things asfurniture, but of the values of life.

Truly ourmodem building with its beautiful stone exterior, its huge steel girders, and its massive cement foundation and re-enforcing isa monument to the Age of Science.Stone, particularly various types of limestone, due to its abundance, and excellentqualities, has come to be used almost ex-clusively as a building material throughoutthe country.In the cutting of stone, science has alsomade its impression. Where the ancientbuilder spent weeks and months in carvingout a single piece, today, stone for an entirebuilding can be prepared in the same timeby use of pneumatic tools, and electricallydriven diamond tooth, steel bladed sawsand surfacing machines.The new buildings on the University ofChicago campus are striking examples of thecharacter, dignity, and permanency ofTwentieth Century building. EckhartHall, Swift Hall, and the Men's Dormi-tories are examples. These three buildingscontain more than 100,000 cubie feet ofstone, ali of which was cut in the Jolietplant of Adam Groth Co.Not only do these buildings equal inbeauty many Old World structures. Theyare superior in workmanship and quality ofmaterial. It is possible for the modemarchitect to obtain far superior grades ofstone, and much more accurate and effectivecutting. With Old World inspiration andNew World materials combined, a newmore durable, more beautiful art of buildingis developing. Paul H. Davis, '1 1 Herbert I. Markham, Ex. '06Ralph W.
